Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

here's my ~/.gtkrc-2.0,
where i changed the font size from 19 to 24;
[24 is the same size i set in KDE > Control Center > Appearances >
Fonts
[as you suggest, "Control Center > Appearances > Gtk Styles and Fonts"
is dead;]
------------------
# This file was written by KDE
# You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts"

------------------------
when i saved this file and reloaded a firefox window the fonts were
still the same tiny ant tracks [i didn't reload X, or close down
existing firefox windows on other desk tops];

when i saved this file [~/.gtkrc-2.0] and reloaded a firefox window the fonts were still the same tiny ant tracks [i didn't reload X, or close down
existing firefox windows on other desk tops];

---------------------------
fellas; guess what; in order for a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 config file to take
effect in Firefox, ALL Firefox windows must be closed; shutting down X
is not necessary; now the fonts are o.k.;/ thanks, imputerate
